A Brit of alright..

Yesterday, my first ever comment on my my first ever blog post came from Emily. Emily went and wrote,

"Hi Adam!!
Really loved your first post! It sums up about everything that goes on my mind about pop music and why I can't get tired of it, no matter how many years go by...
My suggestion for your next post: Baby one more time, by Britney Spears!!" 

Thank you Emily, and to all that took time out to read the blog, I'm brand spankin' new to this so it's well good to have readers already, innit.

I decided to go with Emily's idea and do a post on, the princess of pop, Britney Spears. Surely she's next in line to the Queen of Pop throne once Madonna has popped her clogs or at least stepped down, right?

Although Emily's suggestion was great, I feel 'Baby, One More Time' is nearly too obvious of a song to post on this blog. Yes, I agree it's a classic. And, as Britney's debut, will probably go down in history as her best work. But there's so much more in Britney's back catalogue that people have probably, unjustly, forgotten about.

In my opinion, Britney's 2003 album, 'In The Zone' is by far her greatest accomplishment. Hits like 'Toxic', 'Every Time' and the duet with the aforementioned Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, 'Me Against The Music' show a much more grown-up side to the poptart.

'In The Zone' was one of her first steps away from the squeaky clean image she had created for herself with her two albums; which had cheesy, yet respectable, tunes like 'Lucky' and 'Sometimes'. In my opinion, this was a definitely a step in the right direction.


Since then, she's been married twice, had two kids, shaved her head and, by the looks of certain sleazy paparazzi shots of her emerging from limousines, shaved other places too. But all that is irrelevant to me as long as she keeps making properly amazing pop music. And, if rumours are to be believed, Britney's seventh studio album should be with us within the next six months.

The Britney song I've decided to post is not her most well-known, but I think it epitomizes exactly what pop music should be. Fun.

Plus, she doesn't look too shabby in the video either.. :P

It's the second single released from her 2004 Greatest Hits.... 'Do Somethin''

Question of the Day: What's your favourite Britney song, and why?

Now, as it's a Saturday morning I advise you all to get up out of your houses, take Britney's advice and, wait for it, DO SOMETHIN'!*

*I'm genuinely sorry for that 'joke'. Will try harder next time.
